Would this be an undertaking to create an option in the ACP to turn on and off a custom block? Would it require database entries?

Thank you, Huor. I actually came across that same article myself. I believe the non-compliance stems from the Netscape specific coding making use of the embed tag in addition to the object tag. After a few more head-against-keyboard pounding, I blamed the spacing on the css padding. It was forcing t...

Yup, I am definitely still having issues. I've traced down to the padding in the css. I tried creating a new style based on the portal-panel and called it "wwatch-panel." Note that the padding has been set to 0px. .wwatch-panel { background-color: #D9DADC; color: #28313F; margin-bottom: 4p...

Not sure if I have. I did notice that when the flash movie was not embedded, the spacing was fine. So I came across a "more compliant" way of embedding a flash movie - basically using just the <object> tag and not the <embed> tag which, as I understand, is really meant to accommodate Netsc...

Does anyone know how to fix the odd spacing between the left, middle, and right block areas in IE7? Please see the image below. Notice how the space between the left and middle block areas are clearly bigger than the spacing between the middle and right block areas ... http://img227.imageshack.us/im...

I was able to incorporate the Activity Stats Mod into the whois_online.html portal block. However, I wanted to prevent anybody other than moderators to view the detailed stats. In index.php, I included "<!-- IF not S_IS_BOT and U_MCP -->" to accomplish this. However, when I use the same IF...

Another hint for this block (from the moment on you get bored): I would think about an own DB Table, where you can set the region name variables. So the script don't have to run throw several IF statements and just have to do a query. And if you want to go master, you could add a management for it ...

I already have made one (german) for weather forecasts, depending on the zip-code of the users: http://www.board3.de/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=937 That's the reason why i was so fast with the answer, i already had a nearly similar idea. ;) You have to show us the complete final code - i'd like to se...

Guys, really sorry for all the double posting here ... but I think I FINALLY got it. My last question is whether if someone does not set the custom field, does it have a value of 0? If so this coding may work. What do you think, Kevin? <?php /** * * @package - Board3portal * @version $Id: random_mem...

KEVIN, IT'S WORKING!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D I am able to click on any one of SIXTY FOUR regions and it shows up perfectly in my portal block!! Thank you sir!!! :D :D :D There is just one LAST thing ... rather than defaulting to a region #, I just want it to show a message saying that they can set their s...

Kevin, I think I made a huge step forward here ... I kept digging around in phpMyAdmin and finally found that the field was actually " pf_wwatch_region ". The "pf_" was appended to it for whatever reason - I assume that stands for "profile field". So now it IS pulling t...

Ah, Marc beat me to it ... I had just sent you a PM, rhy@n.

Thanks for the comment!

I found it in phpbb_profile_fields as well as phpbb_log and phpbb_template_data. I'm assuming profile_fields is the appropriate table holding the actual data? I changed the code to read: $sql = "SELECT wwatch_region FROM " . PHPBB_PROFILE_FIELDS . " WHERE user_id = " . $user->dat...

Well I did end up getting an error ... General Error SQL ERROR [ mysqli ] Unknown column 'wwatch_region' in 'field list' [1054] SQL SELECT wwatch_region FROM phpbb_profile_fields_data WHERE user_id = 2 LIMIT 1 BACKTRACE FILE: includes/db/mysqli.php LINE: 143 CALL: dbal->sql_error() FILE: includes/db...

Even if it doesn’t work – you’ve been way more helpful than other places. I don’t mean to push my luck here, but if I might mention one more thing ... So the flash movie needs 2 parameters. MOVIE_ID which is a text string and also a MOVIE_ID# which is a number. The same ID# always corresponds to the...
